Fenzi Group strengthens its commitment to a more sustainable future

As part of the sustainable business development projects defined by the Fenzi Green Future Action Plan, the Fenzi Group reinforces its commitment by announcing the achievement of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for its entire range of sealants for IG Units.

These documents, known as EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations), are voluntary environmental declarations verified by an accredited third-party body. They are applicable to any type of product or service and are based on international standards. Through EPDs, the environmental impact of a specific product or service can be described in a transparent, objective, and comparable way using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the product.

The LCA is the most structured, comprehensive, and internationally standardized method for assessing the environmental impact of products and systems. It considers the entire life cycle, from upstream stages (pre-production), through the core stage (production), to downstream stages (installation, use, maintenance, recovery, disposal).

While EPD certification is voluntary, an increasing number of companies are choosing to obtain it because of its benefits to producers, distributors, and consumers, especially in terms of environmental communication.

Furthermore, EPDs play a key role in developing GREEN BUILDING by contributing to obtaining credits that are valid for:

• The evaluation of CAM (Minimum Environmental Criteria)

• LEED certifications (in Energy and Environmental Design)

• GBC Italia UNI / PdR 13.1: 2015 protocols, known as the ITACA and BREEAM protocols (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method).
